The program at ASU is hands-down the best place to pursue your professional goals! While working with my advisor, I was continually impressed by her professionalism and knowledge. The instructors exceeded my expectations, and staff became like a family to me. If you want a program that offers the latest teaching practices, ASU is the place.
